Importing SmartSymbols

You can import SmartSymbols from other InTouch applications into your application’s SmartSymbol library. Importing symbols from other applications allows you to reuse symbols instead of creating those symbols again.

To import SmartSymbols into the SmartSymbol library

1. Close all application windows.

2. On the Draw menu, in the SmartSymbol group, click Manage.

   The InTouch SmartSymbol - Management Mode window appears.

   

3. On the File menu, click Import. The Import Symbol dialog box appears.

4. Browse for the file that contains the SmartSymbols to import. Symbol export files have a .www file extension.

5. Select the file, and click OK. The SmartSymbols in that file appear in the SmartSymbol Management Mode window.

   If there is a name conflict, the Import Preferences dialog box appears.

   

6. Do one or more of the following:

   • To skip the import of this symbol, click Skip. If you are importing multiple symbols, the rest of the symbols are imported.

   • To overwrite the existing symbol with the new one, click Overwrite.

   • To rename the new symbol with an unused name, click Rename imported symbol. In the Append to symbol name box, type the name.

7. Do one of the following:

   • Click OK to apply the selected option to the SmartSymbol.

   • If you clicked Rename imported symbol, click All to apply the text in the Append to symbol name box to all SmartSymbols with name conflicts in the package file.

     The imported SmartSymbol(s) appear in the InTouch SmartSymbol Management Mode window.
